Narendra Modi has declared victory in India’s national elections. It secures him a third term as prime minister, extending what has already been a decade in power. But it’s also reduced the majority of his ruling coalition, led by his Hindu nationalist BJP, with an unexpectedly strong challenge from the opposition. Where does it leave the populist leader and his polaraizing agenda?
For more on this, we talk to Sumit Ganguly. He is a professor of political science at Indiana University in the United States and has written extensively on Indian domestic politics & foreign policy. He joins us from Bloomington.
